Abstract

We present an approach to create structured and shared workspaces supplying functionality to carry out collaborative activities for a range of learning tasks. A workspace is defined in terms of three interrelated components: group, task and colaboration; each one modelling respectively the relevant features for designing the structure and support for a collaborative learning activity. The system has been used to create a number of applications addressing different educational goals and target groups.
